From people‘a experience here, ghost update indicates movement on file so hopefully, it’s a good sign.
April 2025 - Citizenship Applications
- Thread starter TheInterceptor
- Start date
It is whenever the IRCC officer opens your file, the application date gets updated but no real update is shown in the tracker, hence it is called Ghost update. Lots of people get these.
I got a request from IRCC to submit all scanned pages of my passport from my eligibility period. It also states that if the document is not in English or French, it must be translated by an official translator. Since I am from India, my passport has lots of Hindi text that accompanies its English translation so should I be worried about submitting a translation? None of the travel related stamps are in any other language than English though.
The Hindi text is, well, in Hindi and that is translated on the passport itself in English.
Yes, I understand that each of the texts is in a different language.
Is one the translation of the other? If so, you don't need to have the hindi text translated into English (again).
Yes, sorry if that sounded confusing.
So, a paragraph (boilerplate stuff) is written in Hindi text and underneath that, translation is written in English for that paragraph.
Thank you for your valuable inputs!
did you have a single or multiple large gaps in last 5 years and did you indicate you travelled a lot within those gaps?
I had one large travel history because of working in the US on L1 visa and that is indicated on my application but that does not violate my residency requirement. I applied with 1105 days of physical presence.
They probably just want to look into your travel history.
I also have a similar background, and ghost update today. Lets see how it comes around for me.
I think so too. I worked for an year and a half in the states on L1 before moving to Canada as a PR. Hoping the best for you!
Just finished with the citizenship test, my test invite says testing team 2. Test period is 27 June to 26 July. Anybody on same testing period? And do you have idea what the testing team means?
Hi Any update I am filling nothing is moving, and I have seen same period of AOR getting test email.
